Replying to: volvomax (Jul 15, 2009 7:47 am) Guess I should have pushed for more than $1000 from her insurance for the vehicle value reduction... Do you think the truck would be a tough sale  $23k private party if I disclosed the accident up front and had pictures and documentation to back up all that was done?

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 14, 2009 9:43 am) So, $6000 is fair for an Altima with that type of damage? How come KBB is $1500 off real world numbers? Thanks, Volvomax.

Replying to: trigger (Jul 15, 2009 12:27 pm) Just curious,what are you planning to buy if you are trading in this? Also 23k from a private party would be tough as they would be cautious about the carfax and financing also would be tough and very few people pay outright cash for that much amount. Do you own the truck completely or is their any loan/lien on it or do you have any negative equity? Good luck and keep us posted.

Replying to: r000 (Jul 15, 2009 1:44 pm) Plus these guides are updated slowly and so they are back by a few months. Vmax gives us the real auction values--what these cars are going for right now at the auction--and thus his values are the most accurate. Hope this helps. |

Hi All, I have not posted in many years, but the itch for a new convertible is growing as the weather in SF is warming. I am looking for guidance before negotiating on a 2004 S4 cabriolet. The car has many options (though somehow not heated seats!) including auto tranny. The car currently has about 60,000 miles. Edmunds says $22.5 for retail and $18 for trade in, both figures for excellent condition. The car is a CPO. I think it has been sitting around and the dealer is ready to clear it out. I know CPO does not equal new, but it buys me some sanity for two years. Any thoughts on a fair offering price? The dealer is asking $22.5 now (I think the original asking was something like $28 in fantasy land). Thanks in advance, Z

Replying to: trigger (Jul 15, 2009 4:23 pm) Have you considered the `08 Toyota Tundra? It was redesigned for 08 and a pre-owned low mileage 08 Tundra can be a very good deal --with very good resale value and reliability. Just MHO.
